Google Earth for Android 1.1: Underwater bathymetry

The current version of Google Earth for Android has now been around for seven months; so 1.1 update was long overdue. This is a major update, with the biggest feature being underwater bathymetry – this is the same feature that was made available on Google Earth 5 for desktop.

GEarthBlog makes a point that this is the first time that underwater bathymetry has been available for a smartphone. Another cool feature is “Explore the Ocean” layer; this allows people to share not only their photos but stories of the seas as well.
